Please preserve art on Commons.

Unfortunately Jimmy unilaterally removed the commons policy preferring the illustrations:

Now I don't know where we stand.

Thank you, now I see what led to artwork being deleted. The original policy text was since restored, as was most artwork.

The artwork removed seems well within current Commons scope. I would very much like to hear the arguments for removal -- but to those favoring removal, please leave them undeleted while such a policy change is discussed.

They were all in use somewhere, and many are illustrations made by talented artists, on specific request from the community - it would be unkind to remove them without due consideration and a thorough explanation.
